Teenagers across Region 8 posting online fighting videos

Let's hope they turned their findings over to the local authorities.
Don't forget to do a follow-up on what happens to all the parties involved.

Yes, the police should know about all of this ( the fighting). Some of the teenagers will end up dead and the immature teenagers think all of this is fun. They need to be at home doing homework or working a part time after school job or in sports instead of out fighting and getting in alot of trouble.

Well if this dump had jobs to offer or things for kids to do it wouldnt b a problem

There are plenty of "things" to do. Start with picking up the litter in your neighborhood. Help the elderly with chores, yard work, etc. And what about school sponsored clubs and activities? There's scouting also.

you must not be from a small town and what teenager would honestly go do that stuff out of his or her own will? the one's in my complex smoke it up and dress in red:-( i bet their in a gang

but i guess your right its the public schools responsibility to take up the slack considering they struggle to meet book and curriculum funding.

and scouting lost its interest when i was like 13 we need more things aimed towards TEENS

What happened to extracurricular activities at school, volunteering in your community through 4H
or the hospital? Or--just staying home and not misbehaving? My kids were always busy!! But, I made a real effort to keep them that way!!

Most parents dont raise their kids anymore.

To them, school is just free daycare.

I believe, according to Mic this can all be traced back to the Crocker regiem. We must send in more troops to beat back the indians. Go big red!

I know and it is really sad! I am in education, and it is really not the school's job to raise kids--just educate them--

Honey, you don't know high school kids. Better get your head out of the sand

These are organized fights. Most of the kids know each other and they shake hands after the fight. They will stop the fight before anyone gets seriously injured. UFC fighters get beat up worse than theses kids to an you don't see anyone complaining about that. It's not just Region 8 it's happening all over the country and your not going to stop it.

I'm sure most people are aware that most of these fights are organized. But who gives a shit? Organized or not it is dangerous! How can you say they will stop before anyone gets seriously injured? You don't know that and neither do they. It is very possible for them to get seriously injured by getting carried away, angry, or by accident. UFC fighters are well trained adults not kids!

now that is real encouragement right there.there are plenty of leaves to rake,lot of odd jobs around..you have to get off your lazy ass and hunt for jobs,,they are not going to come to your front door..get real man

Really! It IS because of the parents! You canmake all of the excuses you want, but it all comes down to the parents!!! Would it kill them to spend their time trying to raise a good citizen?! Don't have 'em if you're not gonna take the time to teach 'em what's right!!!!

Most parents aren't doing right, so what do you expect from the kids.
